Cannot create new journal in ojs-3.1.1-4

Hi @jnugent,
i recently upgraded our to OJS-3.1.1-4 today sucessfully but i cannot create new journals. Each time a journal is created and saved in the system but displays a 404 not found error for the new journal.
we get this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /admin/contexts was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at njms.unilag.edu.ng Port 80

i urgently await your reply as it is affecting our work.

best regards

Hi @Gbolly

Probably there should be more info in the PHP error logs? Are you seeing there any errors related to the problem?

found this in my error log.
kindly help
